While we wait
As travel continues to be restricted, I've been collecting books on travel and adventure on my Pinterest page that may provide some solace to homebound travelers. They're linked to Amazon for convenience, but don't forget your local bookstores and libraries will have many of them (if you're lucky, your community supports a travel bookstore, such as NYC's Idlewild Books -- you might find a source near you in Biblio.com's list of bookstores specializing in travel).
On your virtual travels, don’t fail to visit the site of New York-based photographer and fellow traveler Malcolm Kirk. Galleries on the site focus on Iconic Figures
— revealing studies of prominent figures in the arts and sciences, from
Marcel Duchamp and Saul Steinberg to Richard Feynman and Arthur C.
Clarke, including the famous portrait of Andy Warhol
that the iconic and ironic artist turned into a series of silk-screened
‘self-portraits’ that hang in major museums throughout the world; Man As Art
— a record of tribal body decoration in Papua New Guinea that was
published in a large-format hardcover book documenting islanders’
visually stunning tribal body decorations, headgear and carved masks; Silent Spaces — a documentation of aisled barns dating back to the 12th century; and Enclosed Gardens — a pictorial essay covering some of the world’s most magnificent
gardens, self-assigned projects that each involved years of research.
